The head coach of the ECHL’s Bakersfield Condors Matt O’Dette said: “We’ve got a pretty young team, so they’re fans of his. I’ve actually heard his music in the locker room a few times. They’re not afraid to admit it. They’ve got a case of Bieber fever. They may be big tough guys, but don’t let that fool you.”

Bieber, who is Canadian, skated with the Toronto Maple Leafs and grew up playing hockey.

Already proving his talents on the basketball court, Bieber was named the MVP at the NBA All-Star celebrity game. Voted on by the fans, Bieber had 8 points, four assists and two rebounds for the West team.

Justin Bieber proved his talents on the basketball court winning the NBA All-Star celebrity MVP over Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen. Now, a movie is being written about his basketball skills.

In June, Bieber revealed he was collaborating with Marky Mark on a basketball movie. Wahlberg will play a veteran baller who takes the up and coming Bieber under his wing. They hope to begin production for the movie this summer.

“It certainly [has to be] something that’s good enough to go and have green-lit and make right away, but I think it will be well worth the wait,” Bieber said.

No stranger to box office success with sports movies, Whalberg won an Academy Award for “The Fighter,” in which Whalberg both starred in and produced. This will be Bieber’s first motion picture despite the successful “Never Say Never”concert film.

Justin Bieber’s basketball skills from the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game seemed to have captured the eye of Hollywood. Paramount Pictures has approached the music sensation to star in a movie about street basketball. Bieber will star alongside Mark Wahlberg. And it appears that Marky Mark has Bieber Fever, “He’s been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and I think he’s really talented,” the Oscar winning actor said. “He loves the idea.”

This will not be Bieber’s first acting gig, starring in two episodes of CSI, where he showed off his skilled acting chops. In the movie, Wahlberg will play Bieber’s reluctant mentor.
